A Fine PLANO RECITAL

Given by Pupils OF Prof. William Arm
strong, Last Evening.
A piano recital was given last evening
at Prof. William Armstrong; studio, No,

have been heard with pleasure before, ex-
celIed in their performances, all did
excellent well, and the pleasure of their

The most sacred promises and the closest

This was well illustrated yesterday morn

their principal appointments for the ensu-

position on the Board to a declaration
that he intended to SO cast his vote as
to obviate any change in the office OF
Superintendent of the works, failed to full
fill his promise, and not only that, but so
managed matters as to succeed in putting
his son into the best position under the
Board, while, according to current rumor,
another son is to be placed in one of the
minor offices to be hereafter filled. This

The schooner was one mile from the

dynamite each. The first two car

a great hole in her quarter. The fourth

Screecher, from which it extracts the
following: "Miss Sally McShirin was
rugged out as pretty as a red and green
wagon with two spring seats, and made
more mashes than a few. She had on
a blue dress with a red flap at the side
and puffy something or other on the
other side. Miss Sue Sharp wore an
en- traine rig, and could have knocked
Mrs. Langtry silly when it came to
good looks. Her hair was en- curl and
her face en- powder. She had sixteen
rings on one finger and bracelets clean
to her elbow. Little Birdie Bloom
was the daintiest darling of them all"

up in spots. She wore hand-painted

Canned Goods to come Higher.

The Chicago Tribune of last week
says the fruit dealers of the United
States have been placed in unpreceden-
ted situation. Except in California,
the fruit crops throughout the country
virtually have failed. In Chicago, as
elsewhere, stocks of dried and pre-.
served goods are about exhausted. and
owing to the scarcity of labor on the
Pacific coast cannot be replaced, al
though wholesale prices have risen
from 10 Is per cent. Canned goods.
especially fruit, are apparently going
to retail during the winter at fully so
per cent. above the prices obtained
year previous. According to the Tri.
bune an increase of % per cent. to Cal
ifornia's last years pack will not be
sufficient to prevent the threatened
canned fruit famine in the East. This
also seems to be the opinion of Balti-
more packers.

The Independent Movement in
Maryland Formidable.

The New York Times of Thursdav
says: The combination of IndeDen-
dents aud Republicans in Maryland is
even more formidable than was expect-
ed. They have gone to work with a
thorOughness unknown before in Mary
land politics. They have secured as
candidates men of the very best stand
ing, who have never before been in
politics, and who make personal sacri-
noes in accepting the nominations.
For mayor they will have David L.
bartlett, wealthy manufacturer. who
has the affection of all the WORKING
men because of his liberal treatment
OF his employees. For sheriff thew will
nave Franklin L. Sheppard, another
solid man, and as strong as he is solid
For state attorney they will have Ed.
gar Cans, a brilliant young LAWYER.
and Democrat who, as assistant state
attorney, secured the conviction of the
dishonest election judges last spring.
and who has come out as an indepen-
dent.
The state ticket is the strongest ever
nominated by the Republicans. When
John K. COwen made the bolt at first
he seemed to be alone, but now all the
Independent Democrats and civil ser.
vice retormers are working like beay-
ers for the combination ticket. Sena.
tor German sees the seriousness of the
situation, and Thursday he invited all
the local bosses to a conference that
was intended to be private. Every
effort was made to secure harmony. but
the result was not satisfactory. Thurs
Gay night the recalcitrant factions were
holding angry discussions on the street
corners, disclosing the proceedings of
the conference and declaring that they
will bolt, and the regular Democrats
are very much frightened. They saw
that a Democratic defeat here will
have bad effect in other states. Every
possible influence is being brought TO
bear on the situation. Men who ex-
press opinions favorable to the indie
pendents are begged by the regulars
not to weaken the party.
1t is generally conceded that the
mayoralty election will settle the con.
test. 1t comes off two weeks before
the November election. For this rea-
son the regular Democrats are now
seeking business man for mayor as
an offset to Mr. Bartlett.
